Soldering is Easy

After the fun we had with our White Night 2010 badge making workshop, we thought we'd upgrade it a little and give others the chance to spread some zombie love whilst learning just how easy it is to use a soldering iron.

Introduction to Microcontroller Programming

Our Zombie Badge is not just a toy - it’s a fully functional microprocessor programming platform, based around the Atmel AVR ATtiny processor - the baby brother of the Arduino. Anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of a programming language should be able to follow along. If you’re comfortable with programming an Arduino, you won’t have an issue.

You’ll need to bring a laptop capable of running a VMware virtual machine, or a working AVRstudio setup. All other equipment will be provided.
